Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	I know the zebra danios need to be in a group..it's just that i have tried to get them out of the tank...not so easy to catch them. I found 1 dead phantom today...so there are 5 left in the tank...i think i will buy 5 more to make it 10 phantoms. The zebra danios and the pleco i will take back to the lfs. The fish i have are not big...the angels are small..4-6cm,hoplo 10cm,gouramis 5-7cm,feather-fin 4-5cm. The bottomfeeders i will remove later when i get my 3 Zebra plecos. I think i will remove the gouramis aswell. Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Add them gradually & the mortality rate will be low. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	I used to have Black phantoms and the males would turn pretty dark black whenever they would show off to a female or another male. Expect a little fin nipping amongst the group as males can be kinda mean to each other, but usually not hostile towards other fish. They really are neat fish

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	I agree..they are beautiful fish Me and my son was thinking on the aquascaping thing..so we did some drawings and did a plant list.We noticed that some males did some dancing in front of a female..i think....the females has orange anal fin right? It was really nice to watch them,especially when other 2-3 came to join in Do the Black phantoms breed easily? Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	Yup female usually have orange-ish red pelvic fins. From what I understand, they are among the easier to breed tetras...then again if the conditions are right, any tetra is relatively easy to breed. Good luck with them
